arXiv:2607. 04926v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: How does the way information reaches a transformer -- as symbolic tokens, a clean per-factor "oracle" code, or an entangled perceptual vector -- shape whether it binds that information compositionally?

LatWeave is a deterministic multi‑hop question‑answering framework that structures knowledge into a multidimensional lattice and reduces QA to three operators—meet, compare, and abstain—while limiting LLM use to extraction and planning. It achieves near‑lossless performance on complete knowledge benchmarks (e.g., MetaQA) and strong results on templated multi‑hop datasets (e.g., 2WikiMultihopQA), while transparently handling incomplete knowledge through abstention. The approach offers reproducible, auditable answer paths with no performance penalty within its operating envelope.

The study investigates how different message formats affect the fidelity of information as it passes through multiple LLM agent relays. Using a controlled testbed, the authors encode twelve atomic facts in five formats (free natural language, precision‑instructed NL, JSON, triples, key‑value) across six hops and evaluate recall against programmatic ground truth. Results show that strong relays maintain near‑lossless recall for all formats, while weaker relays exhibit significant format‑dependent recall loss, and that any injected error is faithfully propagated across all formats without causing collateral damage.

arXiv:2608. 14465v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A frozen language model on reasoning tasks has two coupled weaknesses: it under-uses evidence its own residual stream already encodes, and it fails to detect when the input is insufficient to answer, so it confabulates.

The paper introduces Untied Self-Conditioning, a sampler that corrects a train–inference mismatch in flow‑matching language models. By dampening redundant directions in the self‑conditioning input and approximating a step‑average prediction from history, the method improves generation quality without retraining. On LangFlow and ELF‑B datasets, it dramatically lowers perplexity and is preferred in the majority of pairwise comparisons.

arXiv:2607. 19359v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term memory is essential for LLM agents that interact across sessions, yet current memory benchmarks primarily evaluate single-hop recall, leaving multi-hop association largely unmeasured.
